I met up with my good friend Rebecca, Mike (Rebecca's boyfriend and club decoy-in-training) and her family for some tracking this morning. The club has been given permission to use this farm in Grovetown to track on.

Tate and I got to the tracking grounds first. I let him off leash to run around, but not on the field. Lets go, mom!

The "new" tracking grounds. This is not even half of it. I'm happy as a clam.

What we came here for: to track!This is what happens when Rebecca figures out how to use the zoom on the camera... :lolol:

Mike's Malinois Ronin.

I'm learning SAR basics from Rebecca, just for fun. She has been doing SAR for years with her wilderness cert Malinois, Ruger. I love picking her brain. Tate is my teaching dummy for this. Here we did a simple search.

Run, Rebecca! Run!

When she got around the corner...Find 'em!

Tate's "bark alert."

After that, Tate got to run around all willy-nilly. He is good at the willy-nilly.

Tate got put up and Ronin got to enjoy the scenery.

So did Solstice (Rebecca's other Malinois).

Solstice! Find mommy!

Malinois litter, out for some socialization. I won't bore you with all the pup pics, but here are a few.

"Hey, I'm glad I found you. I need your approval to cut down some lollipop trees outside the sea monkey hut. These decisions have to go through you because you're the mayor of crazy town."

Mal puppies are absolutely irresistible...however, let's all start praying to puppy and mommy gods now...Asja is the mom...and need I remind you what she did last time (hint: Rocky is a product of her)?

I believe Rebecca is doing Schutzhund with him and he is amazing. Just a the most impressive calm, full-mouth bite.

That's so great. I always love to hear about Jue's offspring...and now I get to hear about Jue's grandson! Yes, Krow-Bar was formerly known as Katastrof! Kristina got the dog from Joe Morris...very social and sweet dog! And Gator is a Jue x Donna daughter. It was the first breeding they ever did with Jue...

It's funny...as defensive as Jue is, he's also very calm and very full in the bite...

That's so cool...

If you'd like, you can give Rebecca my info, if she ever wants to see pics of Jue at work (or video)!
